Tio all whom t my concern:

Be it known that ll,"lnnnnn F. Errnnson, oli Somerville, in the county ot Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, a citizen ot the lUnited lStates, have invented a new and useful improvement in Counter-Display Containers, of which the following is a specication My invention relates to a container .1n

l@ which goods may be packed, provided with a cover which 'may be used to formI an. easel stand for the container, so as to A display the goods. 'l

. y ltxwill be understood 15 drawings in which- Figure l is a side elevation showlng the container int display position;

Fig. 2 is a longitudlnal vertical section ot the device arranged as in Fig. l, and

2@ Fig. 3 is a side elevation, partly in section,

of the container with its cover in closed position ready for shipment.

1 Fig. t is a perspective view of my container.

t@ A is the container itself which may be as by reference to the indicated in the drawings a rectangular pasteboard bon. B is the cover having side tlanges @fand end ange's C1. @ne side Flange C only is shown, but both lare alike. 30 Both sidev anges C' have cut from them a l-shaped piece as at c. and the cover ispretlerabl scored or constructed with a weakened line across the top as at cl so that a portion of the cover may be readily bent back t5 to serve as a vertical support B1 tor the con v tainer, the score line ristering with the npper ends or cuts c. i scored or weakened transverse line c is vmuch nearer one end et the cover than it is to the other, so

40 that the part B, which is to serve as an easel support., is about. one-third or one-tourth part of the cover and will thus reliably,

serve its intended purpose without any securing member.

the'purpose et the cuts being to allow the two parts of the Hangs to separate when it is desired to use the container as a display stand, the score line serving to show w ere to the portion B- ctthe cover may be bent.

are placed on salethe cover is removed and I 'llhe shape or the cuts at c is immaterial;

lin practice the goods are packed in the container and the cover is then put on in the usual way as shown in Fi s. 3 and 4l. When the goods contained in t e container turned upside down or reversed and the con' tainer hisr set 'into the cover as shown in Figs. l and 2. 'llhe end B1 is then bent down at an angle to the bottom of the container so that it will torna an easel support tor one end of the container, and the container is then placed upon the counter so that the goods are displayed'as upon 'an easel (see Fig. 2) or it may be bent way back against the body orn the container. r

lt desired, one end of the container ma be.` extended to formt a hap o: on which t ere may be advertising matter and the nap l which is bent down lfor shipment may remain so or may be stood up, advertisin matter being arranged on the hap accor ingly. h'llhe container may 'be ot any convenient s a e. v

Vhat l claim as my invention is l. A container and a cover therefor` pro vided with danges, two opposite anges ot said cover being cut at opposite points there of and'at points much nearer lone end oit said cover than the other; whereby when said. cover is removed from said container and ret@ vversed said container may be set into it and the smaller portion of said cover may be bent l 1 backward on a line between said cuts to torna .an easel support for one end ot said container to display the goods therein.

- 2. ln combination with a container, a cover theretorhaving danges at two op osite sides thereotand at one end thereo said vopposite anges having V-shaped cut-out upso as to be adapted to be bent bac along said weakened line; whereby said container` @5 may bet set into said cover to rest against one .end flange thereof and the smaller part of the/cover may bebent backward to torni an easel support tor said container and the goods contained therein may be displayed. loo

tet Memos 3. A container ond e cover therefor procover may be bent baekvverd on e line bevided with donges, two opposite donges of tween said cuts to form on easel support l0 seid cover being cut et opposite points for one end of said container to display the thereof end et points much nearer one end goods therein, said container having at one of the seid cover than the other; whereby end thereof o. Hap extending therefrom and when seid @over is removed from seid conadapted to carry advertising metter. teiner ond reversed seid eontoiner may be set into it end the smolier portion off seid -TRUELL F.
